How'd you get the scar on your thumb? And no, I have no idea who I noticed it.

[Grant Wootton]

Very cool PS additions Squire (and, of course, the CD inclusion) Pretty scar too, I might add, although I'm not quite the aficionado that Teri would be of such things

Nice stuff Squire.My copy of The Dropper is in the mail.

It's a long, sad, extremely boring story that I have forgotten over the decades.

This one, however, has a story that I well-remember!

I call it my Flux Capacitor and it is neatly placed on my forehead between my eyes. It's hard to make out.

What happened was I was five years old and it was my bath time. I filled the tub with water and was about to climb in when I noticed the footboard of my brother's new bed that had not yet been put together yet. It had posts in it and it looked like a ladder to me and I got it into my head that I wanted to climb into the bathtub. So I laid the footboard on the side the tub and started to climb the "ladder". It slid out form under me on the slick, rounded porcelain tub and I whacked my forehead on ithe side of the tub. I maintain that I did invent time travel at that point, but I was unconscious and unable to remember the equations and formulas.

Ouch!!!! Good story.Though I think you hit your head harder then you thought.

No one cares about your forehead. What happened to your thumb...no one forgets a scar that long.

[srboone]

I don't know. I probrably cut it on something as a kid. It wasn't traumatic enough for me to remember. I hadn't even noticed it it a long time (unlike my forehead which I have to look at everyday!)

[Teriw]

lol. Can't miss the two on my arm. Broke both of the bones right in half, hadda get plates put in.

Compound fracture? or just surgery scars? Never broken a bone myself (knocks on wood) but have a couple scars on my face/head from childhood mishaps.

Who pissed you off so badly you hit him with your forearm?

[Teriw]

Lol. I have bad knees that dislocate when they feel like it. Dr.'s just kept telling I had bruised muscle tissue everytime I went in because they'd dislocate and pop back into place so the doctors never saw the dislocation. anyway, my knee did this I fell, from no height at all seeing as I was like 4'10 if even and broke my arm, in half. I still tsay the doctors should have checked into that because when your that young you shouldn't break that easy. So that's how I broke my arm. cast for 6 weeks and it didnt heal, temp cast for the weekend, sugery(2 days in hospital), then cast on for 4 weeks. All of this resulting in arthritis and Carpal Tunnell.

It also lead to the doctor finally looking into my knees, another sugury which was a scope to look in my knee. and now they say I dont have enough muscle/ligament structure around my knee to keep it in place all the time. no fix, just excercise which didn't work.
